um....machine...at college, i cannot host and usually have trouble connecting to servers--I have a firewall.

The FAQ isnt always the answer

BUT...this idea will probably never be done as
A) this would encourage more talking, and people who load the game only to chat (which is bad for the server--costs money, causes lag)
B)It would lead to abuse--if people are willing to flood in public, why wouldnt they flood in private
C) TMyApp is always busy as hell, and would have to postpone other things
D)There really isnt a need...if there are too many people talking, just use the /ignore command; if its private, use a messenger
